The only time OLX will generate dupes is if you dont shut it down properly,
either because of a power flick or user error like just turning the machine
off without shutting OLX down. And if you reedit messages at all before they
are sent, you usually see the telltale results of two messages not identical.
From memory without checking all your dupes were true dupes.

FM> I'd welcome any constructive suggestions to prevent this happening,

Didnt happen this time, so it may have been just not exiting OLX properly
one time.

Which is another reason why I dont generally drop in new releases
unless there is a good reason too, it makes it hard to distinguish
between an unusual occurrence in what you have been using or a new
wart introduced when attempting to excise an earlier one.
